Wayne Gretzky Estates Chardonnay 2021

Wayne Gretzky Estates Chardonnay 2021 pours a clear and bright straw yellow hue in the glass. The highly expressive, fruit-forward bouquet opens with appealing aromas of red apple, ripe Bartlett pear, and fresh pineapple, gracefully layered with delicate nuances of sweet baking spices, custard, and subtly integrated toasty oak. On the palate, this medium-bodied white wine delivers a smooth, slightly rich, and remarkably refreshing mouthfeel. A concentrated core of ripe tree fruits and juicy citrus unfolds across the palate, beautifully balanced by a clean line of crisp natural acidity. Having been barrel fermented and aged sur lie for 12 months in French oak barrels, its well-rounded texture carries persistent notes of orchard fruit, vanilla, and gentle spice into a dry, lingering finish.

Food Pairing:

Pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, herb-stuffed pork roast, smoked salmon risotto, cedar-plank salmon, or a creamy brie cheese served on fresh baguette.
